Congrats! 45 year old Jordan Chan and 30 year old Cherrie Ying have been
married for 3 years, and had always wished to keep the generations
going. Finally, on July 1st the couple welcomed their 6 pound baby boy
Jasper. "Little Jordan" was due earlier than expected. When Cherrie's
water broke, she called her husband Jordan back to HK at once. Jordan
flew back from Tianjin and fortunately made it in time to witness the
birth of his first son during a signal No.3 typhoon. Cherrie frankly
expressed its a like a dream come true and joked she wonders whether
will 'exercise magical powers' (cause trouble) in the future since he
was born during a typhoon.

The new father accepted interviews
from the media outside of the hospital entrance. It was difficult for
Jordan to cover up the happiness of becoming a father, he said
emotionally: "My son was born on July 1st. Of course, I accompanied my
wife through labor. My son was about 6 pounds at birth, it wasn't a
natural birth, but the process went smoothly. Cherrie was very strong
and was not afraid at all." Jordan rushed back to HK from Tianjin when
his wife was ready to go into labor; once the plane landed, he hurried
to the third floor of the hospital and finally entered the delivery room
with his wife, but unfortunately he cannot carry his newborn yet
because he's still under observation. Does he plan to send the baby
pictures to the media? He said: "Probably not, leave them for myself."

Jordan
disclosed Jasper has his mother's lips, his nose and eyebrows. He
laughed: "He has a lot of [body] hair, but I'm saying eyebrows. He has a
lot of hair too, his arms and legs are long. Of course he's a handsome
boy." He praised Cherrie was very strong, she had anesthesia and still
could feel the bottom half of her body being operated on.

Jasper
does not have a Chinese name yet, his wife will make the decision and
he will temporarily be breastfed. The happiest to Jordan was he and his
son are both Cancer. "Coincidentally he was born on July 1st, each year
there will always be people putting fireworks to celebrate with us. (Not
every year.) It's still good!" Cherrie disclosed on Facebook she chose
the name Jasper because her husband's English name is Jordan, so their
son's name should start with a J too. It means to have heritage.

Asked
if he'll reduce his workload to spend more time taking care of his son?
Jordan helplessly expressed he did want to spend more time in HK with
his son and allow the father-son to get familiar with each other, but
unfortunately he has to fly back to Tianjin on July 8th.
